Divine King of Honour Chapter 1847: Mysterious Young Man

With Xu Nian’s absorption complete, Mu Yuqing likewise finished hers. Both their souls had experienced a significant ascent. "I've actually broken through to the Middle-level God Realm," Mu Yuqing exclaimed joyfully in her heart. Her Soul Realm had undergone a substantial breakthrough just now. As a Netherworld Practitioner, her innate cultivation involved Soul Power, so this soul advancement directly propelled her cultivation forward. Meanwhile, Xu Nian observed that the soul power of his three avatars had ascended to the Perfect Level, seemingly even more potent than the standard Perfect Level. This represented a monumental breakthrough for him. "This Sealing God Platform is truly astonishing; my soul origin has even turned golden," Xu Nian remarked in surprise. "Golden?" Mu Yuqing echoed, shocked. Her own soul origin had only achieved a golden hue upon reaching the Divine Level. How could Xu Nian's, having merely reached the Perfect Level, already be golden? "What's significant about a golden soul origin?" Xu Nian inquired, still puzzled. "Do you comprehend the implications of a soul origin turning golden?" Mu Yuqing posed the question. Xu Nian simply shook his head. "Typically, soul origins display five colors, indicating a level below Divine. Upon reaching the Divine Level and integrating with Godhood, the soul origin's quality undergoes a profound transformation, turning golden," Mu Yuqing elaborated. "Are you suggesting my soul origin has already attained the Divine Level?" Xu Nian asked, surprised. "No, it's not that the *power* of your soul origin has reached the Divine Level, but rather the *quality* of your soul origin has reached that level," Mu Yuqing clarified. "Is there a distinction?" Xu Nian questioned. "Indeed, there is. To be precise, you now possess the quality of a Divine-level soul, but your Soul Power remains at the Perfection stage due to the absence of Godhood. Only when your soul origin merges with Godhood will it be truly elevated to the Divine Level," Mu Yuqing explained. "I see. However, merely possessing the Divine Level quality seems to have no immediate effect," Xu Nian voiced his thoughts. "It absolutely does; it carries immense significance," Mu Yuqing insisted. "The enhanced quality of your soul origin signifies your potential to comprehend Dao and potentially master Elemental Power," Mu Yuqing stated. "Master Dao?" Xu Nian was taken aback. Did this imply the chasm between the Divine Level and the Immortal Emperor Realm, concerning laws, was already bridged? This presented an enormous advantage. If he could comprehend Dao while still at the Immortal Emperor Level, wouldn't it provide invaluable aid in Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation? The thought sent a thrill of excitement through Xu Nian. "Indeed, in the entire history of the Divine World, only two individuals have managed to comprehend Dao at the Immortal Emperor Level. You now have the opportunity to become the third. Such a talent, even within the Divine World, would be highly coveted by various powers," Mu Yuqing remarked. Xu Nian's anticipation grew. If he could master Elemental Power at the Immortal Emperor Level, he could even use an Immortal Emperor to defeat a Divine. Who would have thought the baptism from the Sealing God Platform would yield such a staggering benefit? "I now truly understand that you are divinely favored. Possessing three great avatars, receiving the baptism of the Law Heavenly Pool, and elevating your soul quality to the Divine Level – opportunities that others might not encounter in a lifetime are yours," Mu Yuqing couldn't help but sigh. Xu Nian offered a simple smile, though a contemplative expression flickered in his eyes. Currently, his Wind and Earth attributes were only at the Ninth Level Realm, a single step away from Law Perfection. His Fire and Water attributes were even further from that pinnacle. Achieving the realm of Dao was unlikely to happen swiftly. However, since destiny had presented this chance, how could he possibly let it slip away? Previously, he had been contemplating whether to break through to the Divine Level within the Netherworld, but Xu Nian now had a sudden realization. No breakthrough! For if he did, while he could remain in the Netherworld, the Immortal Realm would become entirely inaccessible to him. He would be unable to venture into the Netherworld King's Tomb. Now, it was clear: he could fully master Dao within the Immortal Emperor Realm and still face Divine-level experts without fear. With this crucial matter settled, Xu Nian felt completely at ease. "Shall we press onward?" Xu Nian proposed. He was increasingly sensing that this gorge was far from ordinary. It harbored a Law Heavenly Pool and a Sealing God Platform; who knew what other wonders lay ahead? Yet, recalling the potent killing intent they had sensed earlier, Xu Nian was acutely aware that formidable dangers almost certainly lay in wait. As expected, they hadn't traversed much further before Xu Nian and the others spotted a young man seated cross-legged ahead. The young man exuded an aura of supreme power, unmistakably of the Divine Level.

"Is it you?"

A look of genuine surprise flickered across Mu Yuqing's face. It was clear she recognized the young man now standing before her.

Xu Nian, meanwhile, felt a ripple of astonishment. He hadn't anticipated encountering anyone else within the confines of the gorge.

"Mu Yuqing, I had a feeling you’d end up here, so I came ahead to await your arrival," the young man remarked, his lips curving into a cold smile. His attention then shifted to Xu Nian, his gaze sweeping over him with evident disdain. "Is this the one you chose? His strength seems utterly inadequate," he added, the cold smile still playing on his lips.

"Chosen?" Xu Nian’s brow furrowed as he directed his question towards Mu Yuqing. She appeared to hesitate, clearly reluctant to divulge something. Xu Nian immediately grasped that Mu Yuqing was concealing information from him.

"It appears you’re unaware that Mu Yuqing deliberately guided you here from the outset. Perhaps she neglected to mention what truly lies deep within this gorge?" the young man jeered, his laughter echoing coldly. He observed Xu Nian as if he were an utter simpleton.

Xu Nian’s brow tightened further.

Mu Yuqing’s expression shifted to one of mild panic. "Xu Fenn, don’t pay any mind to his baseless accusations. While I did lead you here intentionally, my intention was never to cause you harm."

Xu Nian studied Mu Yuqing, a seed of doubt sown regarding her honesty. He recalled that it was due to her being poisoned that he had ventured to the cliff in search of medicine. His subsequent fall into the gorge had occurred during that medicinal herb collection. The sequence of events seemed perfectly logical.

If Mu Yuqing had, in fact, lured him here with a hidden agenda, her capacity for scheming was truly profound.

"What exactly is hidden within the depths of this gorge?" Xu Nian inquired.

"I... I have no idea myself," Mu Yuqing replied, shaking her head.

"Haha, Mu Yuqing, your acting skills are quite commendable. You feign ignorance about the gorge’s secrets? Little one, do not be deceived by mere appearances," the young man chuckled slyly.

Xu Nian remained silent, his face a mask of deep contemplation. At this moment, he placed his trust in no one. Mu Yuqing had brought him here with a purpose, the exact nature of which remained shrouded in mystery. However, her evident withholding of the truth rendered her untrustworthy in his eyes.

"Liu Yu, you didn’t come here for that specific item, did you? Have the courage to engage in a fair fight; resorting to such underhanded tactics is utterly pathetic," Mu Yuqing declared, her gaze fixed indignantly on the young man. Without further ado, she drew her long sword and surged toward him.
